Well you've a source distribution and not a binary dist. Normal behaviour for a source installation is to do a ./configure --help Read it, understand it, configure with the needed flags, make and make install. Well if you wan't plain standard and your system has all the need include files and libs installed a simple ./configure && make su make install should work Sven -- It really sucks to give your heart to a girl You want to know her like she knows the whole world But 10 seconds in, it's obvious, your going nowhere...
